Fay Miller, Brian Moore, and myself - we would like to extend our heartfelt thank you to our veterans, the Euclid Joint Veterans Council, Mayor Kirsten Holzheimer Gail and her admistration and staff, members of Euclid Safety forces, and all those who participated in the planning and implementation of the parade.
